i'd be fine with anything on the east coast, chicago sounds fine(close enough ). it's also a bit furthur west to help with lat... we'll have to talk to MiS to see what the deal is with that server then... I think we are already paid for another month - but still it's their issue with crashing so either they fix it, or move it and fix it. hopefully they'll do both...

Yeah, I mean, if there service isn't good enough, we paid for it, it should be on there end to get that figured out, thats why we paid for it.

i'm fine with tpu having one, but i personally will not invest in one that far away. I live in the mountains of NY, and get a bad enough ping to the server in my state! people from the west coast get equivalent pings to me, which is crazy. so for me to even consider a server past central, is also crazy. again i have no problem with a group TPU server on the west coast, I just won't pay for it.

And with the money we have already given/continue to give to MiS, this should be resolved and quickly. I did not realize it was specific to our server - that's what i get for never venturing out.

there's also something to be said for administration. obviously the crashing is the main issue - but there are more people like canin im sure who get upset and rage quit at the drop of a hat. it's simply not possible or feasible (nor would i be willing) to have someone administrate 24/7 ... so until the overall server software is fixed (auto balance, map rotation) that will be another issue to deal with...

Yeah, I mean, it's great we have our own server, and for a while we had good traffic, but now any matches that happen in there, have very very few people from outside of TPU. Paired with the bad latency, I can't see how they could expect to really charge for this, or not give some sort of compensation for bad service.

also what about Chicago servers? That seems to be the most centrally located server location for US and Canada, thats usually where I play if no one is on TPU. What kinda connection your guys up north get to those?

With a decent provider I ping really well to Chicago (~15-20ms). I also think anything up to the area of 150ms is still playable in this game which usually would be an absolute disaster in mos online FPSs... I almost broke 60 kills in the UK TPU server last night. So while lattency is always a concern I don't think it's our main concern here but some people are still pinging over 150ms to VA from CA and that's a little retarded imo. If the server itself is stable we should be able to keep it populated.

@ digibucc. about the team balance issue. This isnt server specific and many of the servers I've played in are haivng the same problems with balance. I understand that Canin found it frustrating to see 3v7 and I wasnt there so I can't comment on that but if our server had a better connection and didnt crash I dont think we'd have to deal with these low pop balancing issues.

I think we should put it to an internal vote some time soon to see who feels we're getting our moneys worth because in the end it all comes down to money.

Lol, that is a great name, I'm not sure what the plan is with it, I'm not even sure why I bought it yet, it was more of an impulse buy, once I get the email from them verifying that I have it, then I'll start to get things worked out.

**EDIT**
Got the email, not any time before college to figure anything out though, but that fun will come this afternoon.

If i remember right there was some good Seattle servers in CSS, and MW
so should be able to find some for this.

Yeah, I just was hoping some one from TPU will start one. So many of the servers are full of idiots or people that take the game way beyond fun. I like the TPU guys even though most totally slaughter my sorry butt. How do find where servers are located ?
I'd be willing to administer one if I got one close enough to me. Like the same State or Oregon, SLC. One possible problem would be I only game about 4/5 hours a week.

It's hard to tell where they are from unless they put it in there name, I usually just search by ping.

Oh that'll work. I actually have had good luck on the NY sever
if it was populated. Never lost connection and no lag. Thanks !

Any server within the US should be good Ping on really, Heck I even get like 110 to UK, which isn't bad at all. If you guys want to try and ping the new Chicago server I got, here is the IP 68.232.176.187, see what you get for ping.
